Weight Jump Check: product guides
Read the full Weight Jump Check buying guide.
| Product | Best for | Main strength | Main caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| PowerBlock Elite EXP Adjustable Dumbbells, Stage 1, 5-50 lb Pair | Home lifters who want to expand the same handles later | Expandable to 70 or 90 pounds per hand using the same handles | Dropping them from any height voids the warranty, in the maker's own words |
| Core Fitness Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Set by Core Home Fitness | Home training where the cradles can stay on the floor | One-handed twist adjustment with no pins or levers to line up | Weight cannot be changed unless the dumbbell is back in its cradle |
| NordicTrack 55 Lb. Select-A-Weight Adjustable Dumbbells (NAMSDB20) | Lifters happy to start at ten pounds per hand | Fifteen settings per hand with a single selection system | Nothing lighter than 10 pounds, because the handle bar alone weighs that |
| BowFlex Results Series 552 SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair) | Fine 2.5 pound steps in the lighter half of the range | BowFlex publishes all 15 weight settings rather than a range | Steps widen to 5 pounds above 25 pounds, where many lifters want finer jumps |
| FLYBIRD DB2 Quick Adjustable Dumbbell, 55 lb, Set of 2 | Big weight jumps rather than small progressive steps | One-handed dial change with a tray included for each dumbbell | Only five settings, with nothing under 15 pounds and 10 pound jumps |
See every side-by-side comparison.
